I'm new to it all, dirt bikes, KDX's, 2-strokes, clutch.. all of it. So please be kind and forgive all my dumb questions.
Here's my bike: http://www.basherdesigns.com/kdx

Yep a nice clean looking ride indeed. You will be amazed at the potential hidden in your lil green rocket. Once your abilities increase the front forks will need attention as the front is undersprung and I would look at greasing the swingarm/linkages and steering bearings pretty soon if you haven't already as Kawasaki are more than tight with the grease. First things first if you don't have a manual, GET ONE !! It is our bible of sorts, there is an online version available here also...

Good news is...I bought the online manual the same day I agreed to buy the bike. Its very awesome. My only issue is it sometimes skips the "dummy/newbie" questions I sometimes have.
And KDXer, I have noticed the front forks seem to be a bit sloppy and very soft. Does that mean new springs and I'm sure thats something I can tackle.. hahaha!
thanks for the welcome guys, its awesome to unite across the globe by the way of a green 2-wheeled rocket.. !!

With the help from the people here you can tackle just about anything if you are confident with a spanner. Springs... Piece of cake. The more common mod nowadays is to bolt a KX front end on it, it 'can' cost more than fixing up your stock conventional forks but you will NEVER get the results you get with USD forks. It is very well documented as it is a very popular mod.
RE dummy/newbie questions: we all need to start somewhere, don't be afraid to ask about anything. It all contributes to the wealth of info on this site.
